September 21, 1940 - October 25, 2024

It is with heavy hearts and deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Royce Gall of Drumheller, AB, passed away on the 25th of October 2024 at the age of 84 years old after a lengthy battle with dementia.

She will be forever and lovingly remembered by her always attentive husband of 60 years, Charles Gall, along with their daughter, Tracy Becker and her children - Megan and Sarah, her son-in law Scott Bergmann and his daughters Pyper and Trinity. Her brothers Dale (Joan) and Wayne and nieces Patty, Crystal, Lisa and Carrie.
Royce was predeceased by two of her daughters Dana Gall and Harla Bergmann along with two of her brothers Bob Rowell and Eddy Rowell and nephew Brent Rowell.
Royce was a loving and loyal wife to her husband of 60 years Charles as well as an amazing and supportive mother and friend to her daughters Dana, Tracy and Harla and grandchildren Megan, Pyper, Sarah and Trinity.
Royce grew up in Morrin, Alberta, and upon graduating from High School, she moved to downtown Drumheller and worked at the Drumheller Hospital. Not long after Royce packed her bags and headed South. Once in Texas, she settled into a small town called Big Springs, Texas. There she met the Love of Her Life and soon after married Charles. Royce gave birth to their first daughter Dana in Texas in August of 1964 and then their 2nd daughter Tracy in 1966 in Pennsylvania. Shortly after they then moved to Calgary with their two girls and, in 1974, had their third daughter Harla. In the summer of 2022, Charles moved himself and Royce to Drumheller to be able to care for her better in a smaller house and be closer to her remaining brothers.
Royce worked as a lab assistant at the Calgary General Hospital for over 35 years. When not at work Royce could be found painting portraits, landscapes, rocks, automobiles and her fingernails. Royce was so artistic, she picked up stained glass, tiling, landscaping or whatever piqued her interest. Her favorite thing to do was anything with artistic decorating. Royce would never pass up the chance to completely tear down and redecorate a room when Charles would work out of town for a week. It got to the point where he would warn her beforehand to “not” spend money while he was gone.
Everyone who knew Royce remembers her for her love of animals. Dogs, cats, birds, and even a skunk.
Royce’s presence will be felt deep, we will never stop missing you.

Born March 22, 1960

Laura Jane Bronson was born on March 22, 1960, in Grande Prairie, Alberta, to Roy and Lilly (Isaac) Bronson, the youngest of six children. At the age of 64, without saying goodbye, she left this life quietly and peacefully.
Laura had a joyful childhood and cherished her farm chores and pets. She attended school in Three Hills and Linden, Alberta, and was excited to complete her final year at Kneehill Christian School. She gave her heart to God and was baptized on May 16, 1982, by Minister Harvey K. Toews in Linden, Alberta.
Life was not easy for Laura, she faced many challenges and disappointments. And yet, there were moments when her sincere desire to serve God was evident. We now entrust her to our all-knowing, loving Father.
Laura was adventurous and loved staying busy. She was enthusiastic about Crokinole, enjoyed coffee time, and spent many hours crocheting and working on picture puzzles. Family and friends held a special place in her heart, and she took a genuine interest in their lives.
She is survived by her father, Roy Bronson of Linden, Alberta; her sisters, Carol & Menno Yoder of Mize, Mississippi; Virginia Bronson of Crooked Creek, Alberta; and Beulah & Merle Reimer of Bow Island, Alberta; her brother, Dave Bronson of Linden, Alberta; her dearly loved biological children, Emily, Rosie, and Ricky, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She leaves behind her fiancé Vernon Dodd of Empress, Alberta. The family thanks Dennis McNab for his devoted care of Laura. And a special thanks to her sister Beulah for all the love she has shown.
Laura was predeceased by her mother, Lilly, and her sister, Ruby.
Services were held Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, in Sunny Slope, Alberta. Laura was laid to rest at Linden Cemetery.
